It's safe to install it and you can update to the future production releases without reinstalling. It's not very stable yet as there are at least 3 memory corruption bugs detected by our features which we need to resolve, 2 of those in the Linux kernel and 1 in a userspace cellular driver service.

French law enforcement are the ones who compared us to Encrochat and SkyECC in an interview posted at archive.is/UrlvK along with making thinly veiled threats towards us. Have you read it? It's a separate thing from archive.is/AhMsj. There's more of it elsewhere, not only in Le Parisien at all.

There are quotes showing them insisting they must be provided access to devices and messaging apps. It was stated by law enforcement to the media that we're expected to cooperate with those demands. Thinly veiled threats were made towards us in regards to us not complying. Your narrative is false.

That's not at all what was said. They're airing their grievances against GrapheneOS through a bunch of different newspapers. In those publications, there are quotes from law enforcement with inaccurate claims about GrapheneOS showing they conflate 3rd party products using our code with GrapheneOS.

/e/ has ramped up spreading false claims about GrapheneOS during these attacks by French law enforcement. They amplified an incredibly inaccurate blog post from a content mill misrepresenting our statements about /e/ and iodéOS. The more they attack us, the more we'll debunk their scam products.

Tech media has repeatedly repeated the inaccurate claims from /e/ and iodéOS to portray GrapheneOS as something niche and not meant for regular people. They've been very active pushing that recently. Their insecure devices also absolutely do give far easier access to adversaries than an iPhone.

What we've said about /e/ and iodéOS is that their years of misinforming people about GrapheneOS including falsely claiming it isn't for regular people, lacks usability, lacks app compatibility and much more have directly contributed to now ongoing attacks from law enforcement. That's the truth.

Braxman publishes privacy content filled with a large number of fabrications which are easy to see by anyone somewhat informed. He very actively scams people into buying his products. /e/ and iodéOS similarly rely on false marketing including misinfo about GrapheneOS and others to sell products.

Read discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24134-devi... and the third party information linked there from Mike Kuketz and especially Divested Computing. Both have information on iodéOS too.
iodéOS is officially partnered with Robert Braxman, who researchers have proven has included backdoors in his products.

We've provided ample evidence for the extraordinarily poor privacy and security of both /e/ and iodéOS, as have third party privacy and security researchers. The attacks on GrapheneOS with misinformation and libel/harassment towards our team from both /e/ and iodéOS have been ongoing for years.

Thinly veiled threats from law enforcement are quoted in several of the news article including archive.is/UrlvK. We don't store user data and cannot bypass brute force protection for encryption. Cooperating to provide device access means one thing: encryption backdoors.

French law enforcement brought up SkyECC and Encrochat, two companies they went after with arrests and server seizures. They made it very clear they'll go after us similarly if they're able to conjure a good enough justification and we don't cooperate by providing device access.

We couldn't see any of the specific claims from French law enforcement until the news stories were published. French law enforcement are wrongly conflating GrapheneOS with products using portions of our code. Claims about our features, distribution and marketing are inaccurate.

We were already moving away from OVH over time. We didn't have authoritative DNS or update mirrors on it anymore prior to this. We were only going to be using it for our website/network service instances which are tiny servers with only static content and reverse proxies.

French law enforcement hijacked the servers of companies selling secure phones multiple times and is comparing us with those companies. They've made it clear they expect access to phones and will go after us if we do not cooperate. Cooperating with that means adding a backdoor.

We're ending operations in France and ending our use of French companies (mainly OVH) to provide services because of direct quotes by law enforcement in dozens of French news publications. Their inaccurate claims about GrapheneOS and thinly veiled threats were our sign to leave.

No, there's no basis for it. They're likely consuming misinformation from a charlatan like Braxman with insecure products to sell through spreading fear about GrapheneOS.

See discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24134-devi... and the third party sources in it about /e/. /e/ is very unlikely to face attacks from the French government and law enforcement because it has extremely poor security and is dramatically easier for them to break into than an iPhone rather than harder.

T-Mobile and AT&T won't be able to work with current Google Messages RCS right now. The only workaround is using an ancient version and not upgrading it but they may phase out support for that if they haven't already. We haven't added support for the approach they're currently using.

Google Messages RCS support should work if you grant the Phone permission to sandboxed Google Play services. It likely needs to be used in the Owner profile, not elsewhere. Are you using either T-Mobile or AT&T? Those have specific issues with RCS on GrapheneOS we plan to address at some point.
